The word ‘lok’ means public and ‘manya’ means accepted. Thus lokmanya means a person who has been accepted by people. In his context it means accepted by people as their leader. ‘Lokmanya’ Keshav Bal Gangadhar Tilak was recognized by the British as the Father of the Indian National Movement because of activities that stirred feelings of nationalism in the hearts of every Indian. Though his ideals often differed from Mahatma Gandhi; his views regarding crucial matters were sometimes accepted many times by Gandhiji. A revolutionary and social reformer in the true sense of the word; he was a freedom fighter who elicited esteem from all; even his enemies. His indomitable spirit was appreciated by people. He voiced his opinions in speeches and through the newspaper; and everyone especially the British feared his speeches as well as editorials for they provoked Indians to fight for freedom. The British tried to put a ban on them; but did they succeed? The book observes Tilak’s multifaceted personality through the eyes of people. It is a beneficial book for students; scholars and historians alike.

Biography of Jyoti Basu, b. 1914, chief minister of West Bengal, India and a leader of Communist Party of India (Marxist).
'When the house of history is on fire, journalists are often the first-responders, pulling victims away from the flames. Deep Halder is one of them.' - Amitava KumarIn 1978, around 1.5 lakh Hindu refugees, mostly belonging to the lower castes, settled in Marichjhapi an island in the Sundarbans, in West Bengal. By May 1979, the island was cleared of all refugees by Jyoti Basu's Left Front government. Most of the refugees were sent back to the central India camps they came from, but there were many deaths: of diseases, malnutrition resulting from an economic blockade, as well as from violence unleashed by the police on the orders of the government. Some of the refugees who survived Marichjhapi say the number of those who lost their lives could be as high as 10,000, while the-then government officials maintain that there were less than ten victims.How does an entire island population disappear? How does one unearth the truth and the details of one of the worst atrocities of post-Independent India? Journalist Deep Halder reconstructs the buried history of the 1979 massacres through his interviews with survivors, erstwhile reporters, government officials and activists with a rare combination of courage, conscientiousness and empathy.
Mother Teresa is the personification of mercy and compassion reaching out to alleviate the suffering of millions the world over. She is one of those rare persons who transcended all barriers of race, religion, creed and nationality. Mother Teresa started her mission, the Missionaries of Charity, with just a fiver and she has built up a sort of holy empire the donations to which would stagger many an entrepreneur with mind-boggling figures-with an annual donation estimate of about 100 crores. Although wedded to a life of penance and continence, suffering and endurance, the Mother always exuded a benign smile all around. She was bestowed with the Bharat Ratna and the Nobel Peace Prize and she has already been beatified as prelude to her canonization for her benign services.
The journey of life and death is a compilation of stories that encapsulate the essence of our existence. Throughout this journey, we often find ourselves assuming roles without fully comprehending their significance, which can lead to moments of profound suffering. However, when our consciousness awakens to the realization that we are active participants in a grand narrative, our awareness expands exponentially. We transcend the confines of our limited sense of self, recognizing our interconnectedness with the vast cosmos, composed of particles and atoms. As this understanding dawns upon us, the notion of 'I' dissolves, revealing a deeper truth about our place in the universe. Among the many stories inspired by true incidents are 'Dementia: A Dog's Life in a Human Body,' 'Beyond Boundaries,' 'A Star’s Life,' 'Mushtaq Kasai,' and 'The Leader.' Additionally, there are concepts and narratives that I have been developing over the years, such as 'Fix Free,' 'Gypsy Khanabodosh,' 'Ringmaster,' 'Angry Iron Lady,' and 'English Country.' Boon, 'Ringmaster' has been a labour of love spanning over twelve years of dedication and creativity. 'The Trust' was written back in 2005. Each story holds its own intrinsic meaning, delving into the depths of our origins and probing the fundamental questions of who we are and the purpose of our existence.
In the foreword to the first edition Geoffrey Moorhouse wrote:'In a sense, the story of Calcutta is the story of India . . . It is the story of how and why Empire was created and what happened when Empire finished . . . The imperial residue of Calcutta, a generation after Empire ended, is both a monstrous and a marvellous city. Journalism and television have given us a rough idea of the monstrosities but none at all of the marvels. I can only hope to define the first more clearly and to persuade anyone interested that the second is to be found there too'. Geoffrey Moorhouse succeeds triumphantly in his aims. First published in 1971 this title has stood the test of time. Remarkably it was the first full-length study of Calcutta, seat of the British Raj, since 1918.'The book is organized out of a profound understanding of the true issues and is brilliantly executed.' Paul Scott, Guardian
Among the present Chief ministers in the different regions of India, Jyoti Basu happen to be holding the reins of power in region for the longest period at a stretch. He is unparallel in many ways. His life history indicates how being committed to destroy a system one can still become an upholder of that system. Right now Jyoti Basu has become the great mediator of our national politics. However, the purpose of this book is not to indulge in unalloyed adulation or biased panegyrics born out of an overwhelming infatuation but to present in a highly readable and thought-provoking manner a balanced and level-headed, impartial and thoroughgoing evaluation of his regime for the last 14 years, highlighting both the positive and negative contours of this long period with the help of a massive amount of carefully collected data : historical, economic, political and statistical. In various chapters the author has wielded his pen almost like a sword and made a shrewd and sardonic, insightful and intriguing and also perhaps a heretical and iconoclastic anaysis of the jig-saw puzzle which is known as leftist politics in West Bengal or for that matter, India, at the present moment.
